  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nIsraeli soldiers killed two Palestinians near the West Bank settlement of Karmei Tzur on Sunday after the group threw Molotov cocktails and burned tires toward the settlement. A third person was wounded in the incident.\n\n### What happened near the Karmei Tzur settlement in the West Bank?\n\nIsraeli soldiers from Unit 636 opened fire on a group of Palestinians throwing petrol bombs and burning tires near the Karmei Tzur settlement in the occupied West Bank.\n\nThe military said two were killed and a third was neutralized. The army described the operation as a response to an active threat against the settlement.\n\n### Where is the Karmei Tzur settlement and what is its legal status?\n\nKarmei Tzur is an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, a territory Israel has controlled since 1967. More than 500,000 Israeli settlers live across the West Bank, excluding east Jerusalem, alongside roughly three million Palestinians.\n\nThe United Nations and most international legal bodies consider Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law.\n\n### How widespread is settler violence in the West Bank?\n\nThe United Nations recently warned that settler violence in the West Bank has reached record levels, averaging six attacks per day causing casualties or damage. The warning reflects a broader pattern of deteriorating conditions across the territory.\n\nPalestinian communities and rights groups have documented a sharp rise in incidents involving both settlers and Israeli security forces.",
